Hi 3WD,
I am happy with the term SOM.
The MOQ is bigger than the classic western philosophical tradition and is
therefore capable of seeing it in a broader context.
My question is simple: Is SOM an evolutionary mistake or a prelude to
something low quality for humans but high quality for the cosmos?
All the best,
Squonk.
